SECT. 1.
By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us.
This whole Psalm breathes forth nothing but grace and goodness unto the people of God, from the beginning of it to the end; yea, in the verse of my Text where God speaks most terribly and righteously in the Judgements and Destructions which he bringeth upon their Enemies, yet he is called the God of their Salvation, and those terrible things by which God speaks, are not only a righteous answer unto their Enemies sins, but also a gracious answer unto his peoples prayers. By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us.

I shall not speak of terrible things in the restrained sense, as they befall the Enemies only of Gods people, and the wicked, whilst the righteous do escape, and it may be hereby are preserved; but as they may befall any people, not excluding Gods people, whom the Lord may answer by terrible things in righteousness.
